GG Req Info Doc.docx Please take a look at the attached and let me know if you have any requested changes or items to add to the document. I did think of one addition that was not discussed on the call: on the morning of Wednesday the 18th ASAP the team will need a copy of ALL of the player-generated personal logs from the exercise, and all worksheets generated by players (ERO notification forms, dose assessments, KI records, OSC team dispatch forms and team check-in forms, dose records, survey maps, engineering calculations, JIC press releases, shift staffing records, shift turnover forms, etc). Please let me know after you have reviewed the attachment.
